// A panic typically means something went unexpectedly wrong.
// Mostly we use it to fail fast on errors that shouldn't occur
// during normal operation, or that we aren't prepared to handle gracefully

func main() {
	// We'll use panic throughout this site to check for unexpected
	// errors. This is the only program on the site designed to panic.

	// A common use of panic is to abort if a function returns an error
	// value that we don't know how to handle.
	// Here's an example of panicking if we get an unexpected error when
	// creating a new file.
	_, err := os.Create("/tmp/file")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
